ferred upon  him  the  distinction  of  K.  C.  M.  6.,  au  honor  more 
noteworthy  because  the  recipient  was  the  first  in  the  colony  upon

18:)4,  and  comes  from  one  of  tlir  oldest  familii's  of  the  colony.     .Sir 
Kobort  was  educated  principally  at  tlie  Harljor  (irace  grammar  scliool. 
under  the  Ititc  Mr.  Roddick,  and  In  1$.'jO  began  the  study  of  law  in  tlie

was  admitted  solicitor,  and  a  year  later  barrister  of  the  supreme  court. 
From  his  admission,  he  displayed  such  ability,  attention,  and   7.eal 
in  the  discharge  of  his  professional  business,  as  to  earn  the  highest 
'        praise,  not  only  from  the  judges  of  the  court,  but  also  his  admiring 
coiintrynum.     In  \S'tO  he  \va«  appointed  to  the   Legislative   Council,

standing.  It  would  bo  vain  to  attempt  any  adequate  portrayal  of  his

to  the  legislative  council,  but  resigned  the  same  year  to  contest  the 
district  of  St.  John's  Kast  for  the  assembly,  and  was  successful.  He 
had  the  honor  of  being  the  first  man  elected  in  the  colony  under  the

speaker,  and  one  of  whom  it  may  truly  be  said  tliat  "  even  his  failings 
lean  to  virtue's  side."  Naturally  modest,  yet  sufliciently  self-assertive 
to  make  his  way  in  the  world,  there  are  evidently  positions  of  further 
importance  and  prominence  in  store  for  htm.

iter  of  the  Supreme  Court  in  1.<!SS  and  c.illed  to  tlie  bar  in  ISW.  At  tlie 
general  election  in  I«SO  he  was  a  candidate  for  the  district  of  Ferry- 
land,  hut  was  unsuccessful.  Ill  the  same  year  he  was  appointed  Solic- 
itor of  the  House  of  Assembly  and  retained  the  position  four  years.

a  comparatively  yiuing  man,  has  already  made  a  decided  impression  in

and  a  prominent  and  popular  lignre  in  all  the  literary  and  debatin'; 
nndertakings  of  that  institution.  He  was  there  considered,  by  long 
odds,  the  nhle.st  speaker  on  the  roll  of  member.s,  which  is  a  decided 
honor.  Mr.  Fiirhuig  is  unmarried,  hut  if  it  be  true  that  "Some  Cupids 
kill  with  arrows,  .some  with  traps,"  he  will  "get  there"  yet.

unduly  severe.  .\s  a  syiii|iathizer  with,  and  helper  of,  the  young,  lie 
was  notorious,  ami  many  of  the  most  siieccssfiil  business  men  of  the

Iier  people.  Mr.  Howley  Is  rather  reserved  in  disposition,  yet  frank, 
kindiieartcd,  and  gentlemanly,  one  who  "improves  on  acquaintance," 
nnd  holds  a  high  place  in  the  opinions  of  his  fellow-citizens.  As  an 
amateur  i)liotographer  he  has  taken,  and  possesses,  a  very  large  and  val- 
uable collection  of  photographs,  representing  all  kinds  of  interesting 
"  scenes  in  Xewfoundland,"  and  theii  beauty  would  surprise  those  who 
labor  under  the  erroneous  Idea  that  Newfoundland  Is  a  land  of  "  flsh 
and  fog"  only.  Such  men  as  Mr.  Howley  have  done,  and  are  doing, 
most  valuable  work  in  correctly  represeiiting  the  island  and  its 
resources.     Mr.  Howley  niariied  Sliss  Klizabcth  Jane  Firth.

I'enilell,  where  lie  is  a  fuitlifiil  and  imliistiidus  emjiloj i',  and  liis 
Immediate  friends,  is  (icrliaps  Ijest  Iciiown  for  liiscrmnection  with  tlio 
Ncwfoundlnud  Ilritisli  Society.  He  was  bom  in  the  "Caidtal,"  Sep- 
tembers, ISiiO,  and  received  his  education  in  tlie  Cliurcli  of  Entfland 
Academy.  Ileglnning  business  life  as  an  office  cleric,  he  rose  from  one 
position  of  importance  to  another  until  his  present  occupation  finds 
him  the  trusted  head  of  an  extensive  department  of  one  of  .St.  John's 
lnr);cst  and  most  reputable  business  concerns.  He  is  married  to  JIIss 
Nellie  Scarlett.  In  LS'il  he  was  admitted  a  member  of  the  Newfound- 
land liritish  Si>ciety,  and  tour  yea  is  later  was  eleeteil  a  memlier  of  the 
executive  committee.  The  three  following  years  be  held  the  important 
office  of  treasurer,  in  wbicli  capacity  he  displayed  much  cummeiidable 
linancial  ability,  and  as  a.mark  of  the  esteem  in  wliicli  he  was  lielil,  the 
society  elected  liim  to  tlie  chief  executive  office  in  IS'.K).  He  has  been 
re-elected  p-'  ■Mcnt  each  si  iveeding  year  since,  and  Is  certainly  one  of 
the  iiios!  popii'iv  and  v:iluriljle  holders  of  the  olficc  tlu'  sncicty  liasever; 
bad.  Wlieu  lie  liist  took  ollice,  the  work  of  tlie  sociely  Mciiied  to  bo 
waning,  but  Mr.  Martin  brought  such  intercut  and  vigor  into  it,  that 
the  roll  of  members  lia>  been  greatly  augmented.  The  old  British 
Hall  was  destroyed  by  lire  in  18!)i,  but  a  new,  a  very  much  larger,  and 
more  stately  cdillco  already  replaces  it.  Mr.  Martin  is  a  pleasant  and 
ready  speaker,  but  to  his  juononnccd  executive  ability  must  be  cred- 
ited the  principal  successes  of  the  society.  His  gentlemanly  deportment 
and  generally  genial  manner  at  once  impress  with  favor  all  who  meet 
and  know  liim.  He  is  also  a  memberof  the  Masonic  fraternity,  but  his 
prominent  official  connection  wltli  the  British  society  demands  and 
receives  his  almost  exclusive  active  support.  He  is  an  ardent  temper- 
ance man,  and  an  unceasing  advocate  of  all  modern  reform  movements.

Industry,  and  sobriety.  Api)renthed  to  the  tailoring  trade  at  a  time 
when  to  work  on  the  boanl  was  by  no  means  a  bed  of  ro.-ics,  he 
nuickly  mastered  the  inlric.ieies  of  the  business,  and  in  due  time 
started  in  a  small  way  for  himseif.  By  dint  of  hard  work,  eoupted 
with  unswerving  attention  to  his  eustomers,  ho  soon  won  a  name  and 
trade,  whieh  has  gone  on  increasing  ever  since,  till  to-day  the  "King" 
is  a  synonym  for  all  thai  is  upright,  maidy,  and  worthy  of  emulation, 
and  his  tailoring  business  is  the  largest  in  the  city.  To  say  that  he  is 
poi)ular  by  no  means  fully  conveys  the  e.xtent  of  the  regard  in  which 
he  is  hehl  by  his  fellows.  Mr.  Chaplin  has  been  u  total  abstainer  all

■  isbing  of  inlemjierance,  and  a  Oooil  Templar  of  twenty-two  yeats^

disposition  of  his  subordinate  lodge,  as  also  the  grand  lodge  ollices  up 
to  counsellor.  lie  is  a  past  junior  warden  of  Avalon  Lodge  Free 
JIasons,  and  also  a  Itoyal  Arch  Chapter  man,  and  the  fact  that  he  has 
not  hehl  more  exaltcil  positiiuis  in  those  organizations  is  due  entirely 
to  bis  own  moilesty,  as  otherwise  he  should  have  had  these  additional 
boni>rs  conferred  upon  him.  Since  the  lire.  In  whieh  he  was  a  severe 
sufferer,  be  has  erected  a  substantial  business  place  on  Water  street, 
which  is  at  once  an  ornament  to  the  city,  and  cre<litable  to  his  push 
and  business  ability.  Like  most  other  successful  men  he  is  married, 
his  wife  being  Miss  Amelia  .lane  liowden.

no  better  known  host  is  to  lie  found  than  the  erstwhile  proprietor  of

rr^lIE  lulu  Williim  r'iimplicll  was  a  native  of  Bonavisla.  Dnrn  June 
-JL  2,  1S4:>,  lie  leniovid  at  an  early  age  tn  St.  Jolin's,  wlicie  lie  was 
educated  and  tlupniuglily  mastered  the  trade  of  contraetor  and  Imilder, 
to  wliieli,  a  few  years  before  his  death,  in  IS'^ii,  he  added  the  kin- 
dred business  of  "liuihh^rs'  supplies,"  afterwards  known  as  "Camp- 
bell's supply  store."  lie  has  eontraeted  for  and  built  many  of  the 
larjier  edifices  in  the  eily,  amongst  whieh  may  be  mentioned  the  St. 
Andrew's  I'resbyterian  ehiirch,  George  Street  Methodist  ehurcli,  and 
(strange  contrast)  the  .St.  .Tolin's  penitentiary.  He  has  erected  a  large 
number  of  buildings  for  the  government,  such  as  "Dodding  Head," 
"liiiriu,"  and  "Wadliam  Island"  llghtliouses,  and  otliers  which  ni'eil 
not  here  be  mentioned.  Mr.  Campbell's  work  was  always  faithfully 
performed  as  an  honest  man,  at  a  time  when  it  was  not  "business" 
to  jiul  inferior  stock  in  wmk  whose  specific.itions  demandeil  the  best. 
Iteeaiise  of  his  well  known  and  duly  recognized  principles  of  honesty, 
his  name  Is  remcniliiied  resjiectfully,  and  he  is  pointed  to  as  worthy 
of  eiiiii':'lii'ti,  by  men  slv.rtiiig  out  in  life.  Jlr,  C;!ini)';t.!l  -'\  m  m 
exceptionally  "easy"  man,  but  possessed  the  pluck  and  courage 
I'cquired  in  the  "battle  of  life,"  whieh  were  alw.\vs  used  as  occasion 
rcijuiicd.  lie  was  a  nieniher'of  the  Metliodist  chinch,  benevolent  and 
kind  to  those  who  needed  the  application  of  such  virtues,  and  has 
undoubtedly  left  bchinil  him  that  "good  name  which  is  better  than 
great  riches."  Mr.  Campbell's  wife  was  Miss  Jane  Cole  Herder, 
Devon,  Kng,,  and  his  s.in  Colin  continues  the  extensive  trade  which 
the  father  successfully  launcheil.
